So I gather one of the problems the condo association has with Sharon Fowler is that she walks her large dog all over the community and never cleans up the doggie poo her service animal leaves behind. I suppose she doesn't see what her dog's done, because she's legally blind.
She was completely aware of their restrictions before she moved in. She was under the impression her disability made her exempt from following the rules.
Now the courts will have to decide if a handicapped individual must adhere to the word of contracts they sign. Or if by having a disability, that gives them extenuating circumstances and allows them to disregard the rules of the contract.
Common sense tells me she could get a smaller service dog & be within the guidelines of the homeowner's association's rules.
Another solution would be for her to move.
I see no need for her to be suing over the matter.
Circuit Judge Linda Babb dismissed the complaint, but Sharon Fowler appealed that ruling.
So back to court everybody goes.
She is wasting the court's time & tax dollars.
And the fact that Sharon Fowler is seeking monetary damages did not go by me unnoticed.
It always about money.
So I'm not rooting for Sharon Fowler.
I'd feel differently, if she were fighting for a principal, rather than seeking a way to increase her bank account.
